We are also excited to welcome Dawn Easton to our Design Team. I just adore Dawn's cards and was thrilled when she agreed to join our little team. I asked Dawn to share a bit about herself!

Hi there :) I'm super excited to be joining the Seize The Birthday Team! I've been stamping for about 8 years now and unlike all my other hobbies I haven't gotten bored of it. It's a good thing too since I've invested a lot of money into it. I'm a wife, mom and work full time for a major grocery chain here in Canada. Since I travel during the week I spend my weekends stamping away. I'm very lucky to have a supportive husband and daughter....lol

Over the years I've been lucky enough to be on several design teams and was a member of the Dirty Dozen on SCS back in 2008. Wow that seems so long ago now. I'm looking forward to playing along with all these talented ladies and seeing your creations too!
